We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n I love pairing these with books. We read The Pumpkin Book<\/a>. We have always loved the Gail Gibbons books! They go great with any pumpkin activity!<\/p>\n These are the items we use to make this mixed art project.<\/p>\n I get a colored cardstock and trace the Pumpkin cookie cutters on them. I do two of each size so that if one happens brake we don’t have to worry about it.<\/p>\n You can see the cookie cutter and the cutout that we will use for the pumpkins. Super simple and easy to do!<\/p>\n We colored inside the outline of the pumpkin. We did a mix of light and dark oil pastels. <\/p>\n You can use a finger to blend the colors. If you do this be prepared for the finger to leave prints on the paper. <\/p>\n Or you can use a paper towel. We folded up the paper town into a small square to help blend the colors.<\/p>\n You can see what a pumpkin looks like when you are done. The blending of the colors helps fills in any holes in the pastels there might be.<\/p>\n Then you add more pumpkins to the page. I love to reminder them that not all pumpkins have to fit on the page.<\/p>\n After we had a few pumpkins we added the ribs lines on the pumpkin. This was super easy to do and made a different feel to the pumpkin.<\/p>\n We took the green oil pastel and made a few grass marks on the pumpkins. You can also add some vines at the top of the pumpkin as well.<\/p>\n After you are finished with pumpkins you watercolor paint the background. You start with blue or green. I like to start with the lighter color first.<\/p>\n We started with the blue sky. We did a mix of blue watercolors to make an interesting sky. <\/p>\n Then we painting the green grass below. You can paint the grass anyway you want but it was fun to do some long strokes around the pumpkins.<\/p>\n![\"\nThe](\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Fjack-o-lantern-patch-oil-pastel-and-watercolor%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fimages%2Fblog%2F10-2020%2Fjack-o-lantern-watercolor-oil.jpg&description=Jack-O-Lantern%20Patch%20Oil%20Pastel%20and%20Watercolor%20-%20a%20fun%20mixed%20art%20project%20for%20kids%20to%20do%20for%20Halloween!%20-%203Dinosaurs.com%20%23artforkids%20%23jackolanterns%20%23halloweencraft%20%23watercolors%20%23oilpastels\")
